[[ Triplophysa papilloso-labiatus (Kessler 1879) ]]

Triplophysa papilloso-labiatus (Kessler 1879) , one of the dominant Triplophysa species in the Tarim Basin, has been recently regarded as a synonym of T. tenuis (Day 1877) by many authors (Zhu 1989; Wu & Wu 1991; Yang & Zhang 1991; Ren et al 2005), but other authors regard it as a valid species name (Wu & Wu 1990; Wu & Tan 1991; Zhao 1991; Yang & Jing 1991; Yang & Tang 1995). Triplophysa tenuis was originally described as “Air-vessel in two portions, enclosed in bone”. The posterior portion of air bladder is rudimentary and reduced (Day 1877); however, T. papilloso-labiatus has a free posterior portion of the air bladder, so T. tenuis Day is different from T. papilloso-labiatus and T. papilloso-labiatus is a valid species.
